ABSTRACT:
A method of maintaining an open-mouth state of a bag utilizes a device of suitable form retainable at or adjacent to a bag opening. The device includes an elongated dimensional component extending between respective opposed free ends and which device can assume a shape in the elongated dimension defining a non-linear path along which a circumference of the bag can be made to follow. A length of the non-linear path is greater than half of the circumference of the bag opening and less than the circumference, such that a circumferential segment portion of the bag is held in a position roughly corresponding to the non-linear path and a remainder of the bag circumference extends in an unsupported manner between the free ends of the device, spaced apart from the portion thereof guided along the non-linear path.
